A day with Clearmargin

1

Build recipes with ingredient costs and labor time

Enter your ingredients with costs per unit. Add labor time for baking and decorating. Clearmargin calculates the true cost per recipe.

2

Quote a custom order with automatic pricing

Create a proposal and select your recipe. Pricing pulls directly from your ingredient costs and markup — no spreadsheet math.

3

Track prep time and ingredient expenses

Log time spent on baking, decorating, and delivery. Record ingredient purchases so your actual costs stay current.

4

Invoice the client with itemized breakdown

Generate an invoice from the proposal or tracked costs. Show line items or a clean total — match what your client expects.

5

See profit per order, per client, per month

After delivery and payment, see your real margin. Compare estimated vs actual costs across all your orders.
